[Honghuang] Recruiting demon flags

Chapter 24 When Falsehood Became True

Daji spent a lot of effort to study the basic knowledge of the meridians and spiritual power of the demon cultivator. Gradually, she was able to help Nuwa empress organize the books of the library. I can't even read it, but I can classify it and sort out the context.

Daji even thinks this kind of life is very good.

There are too many classics stored in Wa Palace, and Daji never expected that one day she would be able to see the end of this sea of ​​books.However, whenever she was immersed in the affairs of Zangshuge, she felt that her mind also sank into it, as if everything in the world had gone away, leaving only peace and satisfaction.

She is by the empress's side, she is helping the empress, what else is there to be dissatisfied with?

Half a month passed like this, and one night, late at night, Bixia suddenly called her out from the Library Pavilion.

Daji thought, the empress seemed to like calling her in the middle of the night.

She followed Bixia, stepped out of the vast library, and turned a corner. She didn't go far, and arrived at the star-gazing platform of Wa Palace.

Compared with other buildings, the observatory is not grand, but a high platform of more than ten feet, but it is better than clean, there are no gorgeous palaces around, and there are no lush exotic flowers and rare trees, rare birds, Even the boys from Wa Palace seldom come here.

Daji looked up and saw Nuwa standing on the high platform.

She was alone, and the surroundings were empty, only the deep and dense starry sky spread out in front of her, which was far and bright.From such an angle, Daji can only see a very clear back, independent of the stars, with elegant clothes fluttering against the night wind.

Bixia stepped on the steps first, then turned to Daji and said, "Let's go."

Daji nodded.

The stone steps of the observatory were built around the high platform, and Daji lowered her head, watching her skirt sway with her steps, almost walking up step by step with a certain pious mood.

On the high platform, Bixia bowed slightly and said, "Your Majesty."

Nuwa still stood with her hands behind her back, leaving only Bixia and Daji a back view, and said calmly: "You are here."

Bixia saluted and said: "Yes. Disciple and Daji are together."

Nuwa said: "Remember the changes of these star paths, and then calculate according to the records of previous years." After a pause, she said: "Daji will also be with you, if she doesn't understand , you explain it to her yourself."

Bixia: "Yes."

From the beginning to the end, Nu Wa never looked back, and she didn't even look away from the starry sky above her head.

Daji felt that, as her own identity, she should say a few words when she saw the empress, but in this scene, she didn't know what to say, so she had to quietly salute along with Bixia, and was quickly rejected Bixia pulled aside.

Bixia said: "Since your mother said so, let me teach you how to identify star charts."

Daji was puzzled.

However, they stood at the other end of the observatory, far away from the empress, so she relaxed a lot, and asked Bixia directly: "Xianchang, why is this?"

Bixia: "...you don't need to call me Xianchang."

"Oh." Daji changed his words obediently, followed his words, and asked, "What do you want to call the fairy?"

"..."

Bixia looked at her and fell silent.

Daji's current status is indeed very embarrassing. Logically speaking, she should be regarded as someone very close to the empress, but the empress can't arrange a suitable title for her—no monarch and minister, no master and apprentice, no Taoist companion, naturally more no.

After Di Jun's death, the title of "Demon Emperor" disappeared along with him.Although Empress Nuwa now rules over ten thousand demons, she relies on the most precious treasure of the demon tribe to recruit demon banners, as well as the incense and morals passed down from the prehistoric times.

Although she and the Yaozu have the status of a monarch and minister, they do not have the name of a monarch and minister.

Every time Wan Yao met with him, he called her "Niangniang" instead of "Your Majesty", which was an example.

Among the monster clan, there are also some senior clan elders who have repeatedly asked the empress to proclaim herself the emperor, but they were all rejected by the empress. Gradually, they did not mention it.

Therefore, even the empress herself has no title, and Bixia doesn't know what title to arrange for Daji.

Bixia was silent for a while, and finally said: "...you and Caiyun and the others, call me senior brother."

Daji said: "Brother Bixia."

Bixia took a deep look at her, turned around, looked up at the stars above her head, and said: "Every year at this time, the empress will watch the stars at night and compile the calendar for the next year for several days. You have to follow By Niangniang's side, this star map must always be understood."

Daji turned her gaze, fell from the railing of the observatory to Bixia in front of her, and asked, "Why do you want to compile a calendar?"

"Although the sun, the moon and the stars are constantly turning around, the timing and trajectory are different every year. And the four seasons in the world will also change according to the astrology. When is the vernal equinox and when is the summer solstice? The basis of people's livelihood, spring plowing and autumn harvest, are all done according to the four seasons, and when the people are farming, the calendar is used to distinguish the seasons. Do you think this calendar is important?"

Daji still has a little understanding of the pattern of practice. After thinking about it, she couldn't help asking: "Calendar, shouldn't that be the...specialty of the sage of Shennong? Then why our mother..."

"Of course yes."

Bixia folded her arms behind her back and looked up at the starry sky at night.He is worthy of being the boy who has been with Empress Nuwa for the longest time. Although he looks young, this action alone already has the demeanor of Nuwa.

He said: "However, in this world, the nine states and the four seas are so vast, and there are so many people in the Li people. How can one saint spread over all living beings? What's more, the cars and horses in the world are slow, the news is sluggish, and letters go from Chaoge to the frontier." , It’s going to be a year, how can we make it in time? The Saints of the Three Emperors, as well as our empress, will each deduce a calendar for the coming year and pass it on to the common people every time this season comes.”

As Bixia spoke, she sighed, "...but that's all, I hope it can help more people."

When Daji heard this, she couldn't help turning her head to look at Nuwa again.

The sky was full of stars, and Daji's eyes lingered on Nuwa's figure standing quietly under the stars, she slightly pursed her lips, thinking, the human race should also take care of it, and the monster race should also take care of it, the empress, a saint, is really worthy in heaven and earth.

It's just that those who are most public are selfless, and those who are most benevolent have no relatives.

She is here with the empress, and there is probably no difference between all living beings in the world, mayfly or insignificant.

……

……

Daji gradually discovered that Empress Nuwa seemed to like to take her by her side: when tidying up the library, she was asked to watch; Even when she is free to teach Bixia and other boys the Taoism, she still needs to watch at the side—not only watching, but sometimes even teaching Daji together.

Daji is naturally happy to be by Empress Nuwa's side from time to time.

However, although the empress brought her by her side, she never had any intimacy. When getting along with each other in daily life, she behaved properly and never regarded herself as a high-ranking person. alienated.

Daji really couldn't figure it out, and she didn't dare to ask the empress face to face, so she had to find Bixia.

She called Bixia who was about to leave Wa Palace from behind, "Brother Bixia!"

Bixia stopped before the steps and turned to look at her.

Daji didn't want to delay him for too long, so she asked directly: "Your Majesty, you have to take me with you in everything you do now. Forgive me for being blunt, senior brother, you have been with Your Majesty the longest. In your opinion, Your Majesty... …What exactly does that mean?"

Bixia was obviously taken aback.

Daji said again: "If Wa Palace lacks some people who can hold lamps and study ink, what is your status, just tell me, there is no demon clan in the world who is unwilling to come, why... must you find... me?" weaker.

She asked tactfully, Bixia hesitated for a moment, her tone was also very uncertain, she just said: "I guess, the empress just wants you to know what she does every day."

Daji: "...Oh."

She still can't see through the empress.

And the joy and excitement at the beginning gradually faded away as she got along with Nuwa for a long time.

Living in the Imperial Palace, she was with the empress day and night, and even made it clear to her the most secret and fierce love in her heart, and even got something that she never dared to think of before—the empress's response.

It couldn't have looked better.

But—even if Daji is unwilling to admit this anyway—but I can't lie to myself.

This is not what she wants.

No longer troubled day and night by the lovesickness that cannot be loved, Daji was finally able to calm down and reflect on it carefully.

Think about how she and Niangniang got to this point.

At the edge of the snowy cliff at that time, when I heard that sentence, I was of course ecstatic; but day after day, day after day, Niangniang is still so unattainable and out of reach, making Daji think of her and Niangniang every time. There is a sense of unreality in the current relationship.

In the end, nothing has changed.

It is also impossible to change.

The empress is a true saint, with everything in the world in her heart, and the common people.

There is no difference between one more her and one less her.

After figuring this out, Daji only felt that the fierce admiration she once had in her heart suddenly faded away.

Like a lake, no matter how beautiful it is on a warm sunny day, it is completely frozen in winter.Although those admiration and love have not dissipated, they have long been sealed and indifferent.

One night, it was rare for Nu Wa to call her for nothing, so Daji sat on the roof of the palace with Caiyun when she was free, and chatted casually while watching the night scene with cascading eaves in the distance.

Looking at the clear starry sky, Daji suddenly remembered something, and said, "Senior Sister Caiyun."

Caiyun turned her head, "Huh?"

Daji said: "One thing, I have been confused for a long time. I am not afraid of my sister's jokes when I say it. In our palace, there are four seasons, and there are sunny and rainy weather. What is the reason? I thought it should be the same as the mortal world, but ..."

After hearing this, Caiyun covered her lips with a smile and said, "No."

Daji: "That's it?"

Caiyun said: "Wa Palace is a saint's dojo. Although it is under the way of heaven, it cannot be regarded as a mortal world. The seasons and climate here are all based on the mood of the empress. It's just that the empress has always had a peaceful heart, and the heart of a saint is like a mirror. Be happy or not, but it can reflect everything in the world, so most of the time, the weather in Wa Palace looks the same as in the mortal world."

A saint's heart is like a mirror, this is the second time Daji has heard this sentence.

More than a month ago, at Biyou Hall, she asked Master Taiyi about the Taoist marriage, and Taiyi answered her in the same way.

At that time, Taiyi said that the love between men and women is the great desire of people, but the saints are in harmony with the way of heaven, but they can't touch personal feelings.

Then Empress Nuwa...

Daji remembered again that it was the day they went to Biyou Palace. After returning, the empress summoned her on the back cliff.She still clearly remembered that when the empress personally promised her courtship, the sky was full of wind and snow.

It's snowing heavily, it's because I'm in a bad mood.

Daji sighed for herself in her heart.

On the second day, she took the initiative to mention to Nu Wa that she wanted to return to King Zhou.

Hearing that she was going to resign, Nu Wa did not stop her, she was still sitting on the aloes incense throne, her five-coloured dress was curled up, her forehead was resting on one hand, her expression was tired, her eyebrows and eyes were shrouded in shadows, she just said: "It's so difficult. All right, be careful."

So Daji left Wa Palace like this.

Step by step, she walked down the steps of the main hall of the Wa Palace, and suddenly felt a strong sense of reluctance, and turned her head to look again.

The main hall has gilded blue tiles and vermilion lacquered pillars. The hall is deep and cold, and the candles wrapped in silver foil are always burning, illuminating the white jade steps. .Through the end of the light smoke, the demon banner stands majestically.

Dignified and solemn, as always.

as always.

……

……

During these days, Daji has been staying in Wa Palace. In the Shang Dynasty, the "Su Meiren of Shouxian Palace" had no choice but to claim that she was sick, and used illusion and puppet charms to deal with it.Daji even thought that if she got along well with her empress, as a Sumerian, she would not be able to get sick at all, so that she could return to Empress Nuwa completely.

It's a pity that this plan will not be used after all.

Back at the palace, the furnishings in the palace are still the same as before, without any change.

Daji called the maid, sat up reluctantly from the sickbed, half leaned on the pillow, hugged the bedding, only wore a plain white underwear, her hair was not tied up, and her long black hair fell from the side of her face, looking very thin .

She looked at the maid who rushed in, and said softly and weakly: "...I finally feel better in recent days."

Seeing that Daji was finally able to get up, the palace maids were almost overjoyed. They all surrounded her bed and greeted her one after another.

Right now, what Daji can't hear the most is the word "Niangniang".

She leaned on the couch, waved her hands wearily, and drove all the maids out, only to ask them to invite King Zhou to come.

Sure enough, King Zhou also came very quickly. When he entered the door, he was wrapped in the smell of fragrance and wine. It seemed that he was having fun with some concubine again. When he heard the news of Daji, he hurried over. He didn't even have time to dress neatly.

He sat beside Daji's bed and took her hand.

At this moment, Daji saw King Zhou's eyes.

——The one in front of you is the emperor of Kyushu, the co-lord of the world, an absurd, cruel and unrighteous tyrant, but the way he looks at Daji is clean, like a young man, and his clear and dark eyes are full of blood. It is worry, flowing with the most sincere and passionate love.

Even if Daji didn't have the slightest sincerity towards him.

Daji suddenly wanted to laugh.

She thought that every time Empress Nuwa looked at her, she felt the same way when she looked at the current King Zhou.

Love is such a deceitful thing.

When you are in the game, you can't see clearly. Once you jump out of the game, you will know that the answer is actually waiting there all the time.

——As a saint, the empress has a clear heart and no desires, so it is impossible to have an affair; when the empress promised her courtship, the Wa Palace was full of wind and snow, and there was no joy; but now, the empress even It was because she was allowed to return to the mortal world, to King Zhou's side.

She didn't know why the empress agreed to her at the beginning, out of pity, or out of shame, or maybe it was just a whim.

But that is never love.
